Irkutsk residents at the front and in the rear: a review of the local history collective monograph “Irkutsk - the City of Labor Valor”

The review describes the collective monograph “Irkutsk - the city of labor valor”. It notes the novelty and relevance of the publication, a wide source base and contribution to the development of the history of the Irkutsk region. In this work, for the first time, Irkutsk is presented as the most important logistics center of Eastern Siberia, which played a significant role in winning the victory in the Great Patriotic War. However, some shortcomings were also noted, primarily related to the costs of writing collective work. The work is assessed as historical, but can be interesting not only to history liking people, and can be used in the preparation of educational classes in educational institutions.
